a patched version of cgminer does not mean documentation to the developers of cgminer so they can implement the drivers for said device correctly.
If technobit has the drivers and gives them up in the fork tree of cgminer, unless technobit tells them how to edit and modify the drivers, its up to technobit to implement it correctly. so guess what, when a new cgminer comes out, no updates to the drivers are going to be implemented, any security holes, memory leaks, chip killing code will be present in the next patch and there after...

What are you talking about dude? Your sentences twist up & make no sense.
Who is they you mean there?
Who will implement?

Type it slowly, one by one. This is not a race.

The people that "They" are is Ckolivas and if i recall correctly, Kano too.
They are the people who run and maintain CGMiner.
Any drivers for hardware that use CGminer is licensed under the GPLv3. This means that the source to any modifications that the hardware makers make to CGMiner code MUST be provided by law if the hardware makers distribute modified binaries.

if they do not, they could get sued

Technobit has offered the drivers as open source, but they better not just throw a blob of code up on the net and call it a day.

If the hardware developers do not give documentation on how the "open source" drivers work with the mining software, things are not going to work properly. Both Luke-JR and Ckolivas will require this.

EG: Rockminer made drivers for CGMiner 4.3.3, making the "New R-Box" run at 110Ghs, but there was a new version of CGMiner out with a security patch.
The devs (Ckolivas) attempted to implement the new modified drivers into the new 4.7.1 and 4.8.0, the drivers are not working correctly. Because Ckolivas does not understand how the drivers work, he needs documentation to get it running correctly. all that Ckolivas can do is modify some numbers and code to get something out, but CGMiner 4.7.1 and 4.8.0 does not run the "New R-Box" at 110GHs but at 80Ghs to 50Ghs.
Some people are lucky to get it working at 120GHs with it, but not all.

do you understand now? technobit better not follow rocketminer.
and i dont mean in the way of making a little mining box like the R-box's, i mean in the way of ignoring the software developers of the mining software.

Technobit never push their driver back to cgminer. If you read cgminer thread & cgminer thread, technobit driver never integrated to new cgminer version. When new cgminer out from CK, technobit fork the cgminer & make new patch.
So technobit maintain the driver on their own.

and there be a problem, any security patches, and issues with the software, technobit will have to integrate it into their fork. and im not running a different mining program for every different mining hardware, i have the latest cgminer, and that is all i use, if technobit doesn't support the original developer of the software... ask what Ckolivas would do.

Hell, i could be completely wrong when Ckolivas hound the hardware developers when they make their own code. Ckolivas is putting driver codes into his software to get it running with the latest release. he wants documentation to make it work.

There is no need for companies like technobit to fork the software and maintain their own version.
Otherwise Ckolivas should dump all drivers out of the software and just let all companies to make their own forks and have everyone run 20 different versions of the same software for their 20 different type of mining hardware.

Let me try to clear:
1. We do not do GIT forks, but we strictly publish source code of our drivers with every ne version for the TP-link. Anybody can check it and build it .
2. You accusation about fake CGminer screen is absurd :
   - The RocerBox chip is hashing 200 GHs in our 4 chip design , there are devices working in customers hands already
   - FYI there is a screen mode in cgminer where it changes the data .
   - We never advertised fake data on our devices, it can happen they are over performing rather than under.
3. Ckolivas's job is to make mainstream compatible , with custom drivers we are able to refine the work of the SW with our HW.
4. Most of our devices are used standalone without PC working on cheap TP-link, that have limited resources in terms of RAM and CPU, so with custom driver we are maintaining good performance on this low cost controller.
